Leah Riddle: Riddle me This (Book 2)

Chapter 67

"Stop," I smirked, pushing Draco's face away.

 "Mm, no," he said, kissing my neck again.

 "I have to study," I said, trying to sound exasperated.

 "You've been studying forever," he complained and I gently pushed his face away again.

 "Maybe you should do the same," I smiled.

 "I'm good," he chuckled.

 "Knock it off," Pansy groaned, staring at us.

 "Oh I'm sorry, it was your five month plan that caused this," Draco said and I smothered a laugh.

 "It's your fault," I nodded.

 "I take it all back!" she snapped and I glared at her.

 "Do not get all feisty with me," I said.

 "I'm just so stressed out!" she cried. I sighed and looked at Draco.

 "I'm gonna take her upstairs," I said and he gave me a pout.

 "Why don't you ever take me upstairs?" he asked and I laughed loudly.

 "Maybe it's because I go by the saying, 'Sisters before misters'."

 "That is the worst saying I have ever heard," he said, kissing me quickly.

 "I agree," I smirked and then pulled Pansy up the stairs.

 "O.W.L's start tomorrow," she whispered with her eyes wide and unfocused.

 "Sh, just go to sleep," I said, pushing her down onto her bed.

 "I'm unprepared," she was almost talking to herself. I remembered Severus teaching us about a Draught of Peace, and I decided that's exactly what she needed. I left her on her bed and went down to Severus's office.

 "Severus," I knocked on his living quarters door. I didn't hear any movement so I knocked louder.

 "Severus," I said again and I heard shuffling.

 "What?" he asked, opening the door. He pulled a robe on and I sighed.

 "Sorry to wake you, but I need a Draught of Peace," I said.

 "Can it wait until tomorrow?" he asked.

 "No, the whole point is so she can relax enough to fall asleep," I said and he started muttering to himself, pulling out ingredients. I watched as he began waking up the more he moved around and I took a deep breath.

 "Can I ask you something?" I asked in a rush. He glanced back at me and nodded.

 "Is there a potion, possibly, that could change your future; like...change one possible thing that just makes the outcome completely different?" I asked and he stopped working.

 "I- no, Leah," he shook his head and I felt disappointed, but shrugged it off.

 "I was only wondering," I said casually. Severus gave me a long look as if he wanted to say something, but then turned back to the potion.

 "Who is this potion for?" he asked.

 "Pansy, she's completely stressed out," I sighed.

 "Hm, how's Draco?" he asked.

 "Good, but I think the Inquisitorial Squad has gotten to his head," I rolled my eyes.
